Preliminary conclusions considerable resilience and capacity of recovery against adverse conditions (economic downturns, terrorism, health threats, natural disasters, etc.) strong underlying demand, with still huge potential for growth: both from increase of participation and increased frequency: more often but shorter stays from current travellers but above all from new emerging middle classes sizable populations in developing countries currently still only take part in international tourism very limitedly many emerging economies show rapid economic growth resulting in increasing disposable incomes, a relative big share of this increase will be spent on tourism (domestic as well as international) 45
